William Lloyd Garrison recounts his journey. In Rochester, he was joined by Susan Anthony, Rev. Antoinette Brown, etc., who were also on their way to the Woman's Rights Convention. Garrison spent the night in Buffalo; a large fire broke out there. Continuing on his way to Cleveland, there were tremendous thunder and hail storms in Erie. In Cleveland, Garrison attended the Woman's Rights Convention. He met many friends. Garrison says about the convention: "Nine meetings were held in succession, the hall being filled to overflowing, and the behavior of the audience all that could be desired, with few exceptions. The women speakers have acquitted themselves with great ability, and carried off the palm." Garrison had his "nose pulled" by a brother of Dr. Nevin for calling him a "rowdy and a blackguard."
